Interesting that an antibacterial cream would be good for something like that. It doesn't look like an infection.
 

I've used antibacterial cream for skin issues in the past where it was a known bacteria infection, things like an abscess, but I would not expect that kind of cream to help for something like that. But if it works, great, and no point in questioning it. Just carry on until it's gone. Shouldn't be that long if it's working.  

There is a type of infection of hair follicles called folliculitis which looks similar to what he has, and of course the location fits.

That's true. It's possible. But I was also wrongly diagnosed in the past for folliculitis (by more than one skin doctor), when in fact my condition was something different. So I'm a bit weary now of a folliculitis diagnosis.

If Fucidine helps,  it was folliculitis.

Had the same: try Fango, the orange one, not the blue one. Most of pharmacies have it for 60 thb.
